I had been looking and researching for about a year for what smokergrill I was going to purchase.  I asked my Sister Inlaw what she thought of her Traeger.  She told me they purchased it about 18 years ago and still works great. When asked how much money have you spent on repairs. She said 0 as in zero. Thats when I pulled the trigger I have had it 4 months and wished I did it a year ago. Great Product and Traeger has a Great Support Team!
